Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2003, SWAPO, a Namibian political party, received $30,000 USD from the Chinese Communist Party at a press conference in Windhoek. The announcement by Swapo Secretary General, Ngarikutuke Tjiriange was a rare confirmation by a political party that it was receiving funds from a foreign organization. The money will be used to print Swapo material. The money was handed over at an official ceremony where an agreement for cooperation between the two parties was also signed.
